Most human beings have only
one strand of active DNA in
them. When you become a
seeker, ready to take the risk of
renouncing sensual pleasure for
something which you don't
understand, the second DNA
strand gets awakened.
In practically in all of you who
did the process, the second
strand of DNA is awakened, because for one month, you had only two meals a day, took a bath twice a day and abstained from sex - all this for something which is not really tangible to you now. Any one has any tangible idea why you are doing that? Maybe you have the trust in apta pramana - the word of the Guru. You must have thought, ‘If this guy is enlightened and this is what enlightenment is, I would like to have it!’ That is the reason why you were eating twice a day, taking bath twice a day and abstaining from sex and from all pleasures. This proves very clearly that your second strand DNA is already awakened. Now how to awaken the next level strands of DNA? Just remember who you really are. Naturally, one part of you will feel that you are the identity which you are showing to the world. Then another part of you will say, No, it is not that, because it changes. I can convince myself to change the identity which I am projecting to the world. When you are not able to maintain a particular identity, or when that identity gives you suffering, in just twenty-one minutes, within one cycle of time, you can sit and talk yourself into changing it. Then how can that be you? You will understand, The outer identity is liquid, it is changing. How can that be me? Then what is me? What is me? In a few minutes, you will naturally feel that you are cornered. What is me? There will be a kind of a silent awareness for few seconds. Then what will happen? Because you are not able to stay in the pressure which is cornering you, the awareness just gets bumped. The awareness goes to some object, or it goes away and this idea gets lost.
This means that the third strand DNA which you are touching is kicking you back: Ey, get out, don't come near me, I am not interested in waking up now, I want to sleep a little more. That is where you need seeking. Tell yourself, No, I am not just going to build my body, I am going to build my DNA structure. When you are with awareness, it will never be a painful process. It can only be called as a pressure on your muscles and system.
Intense seeking simply awakens at least four or five strands of DNA. You don't need any sadhana, just intense craving. Slowly, the identity which you are showing to the world becomes a superficial and small part of you. It is no more half of you; slowly it is 'off' of you! It is not that it will not be there in you, but it will be 'off' of you.
Understand, it is not that I do not have an identity which I am showing to you. But it is not half of me - it is 'off' of me. The identity which you are showing to the world, if it is half of you, you are a man. If it is 'off' of you, you are God.
